For #blackhistorymonth, we’re honoring Black scientists and scholars for their contributions to STEM fields that inform what we learn, teach and know today!
.
.
Dr. Roger Arliner Young was a marine biologist, and is said to be the first African American woman to earn a doctorate degree in Zoology. Though she entered Howard University as a music major in the early 1920s, she swiftly became an Assistant Professor of Zoology, and spent her summers at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, researching the fertilization process of marine organisms with Ernest Everett Just. Although her name doesn’t appear as a coauthor in many of his publications (😡), Young was an integral part of his research there, and even stood in for him as interim chair of Howard’s biology department during a leave of absence.
.
.
She went on to get a master’s degree from the University of Chicago, where she studied cellular life and paramecium in marine ecosystems. She was also the first Black woman to publish her master’s work in the world-renowned academic journal Science. Dr. Young was born in Virginia, but raised in Pennsylvania, where she ultimately completed her PhD in Philadelphia, at the University of Pennsylvania, in 1940.
.
.
Young taught and lectured at many schools across the US—in North Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and more. We can thank Dr. Young for her contributions to the study of effects of radiation on sea urchin eggs, paramecium anatomy and salt concentration, and the hydration and dehydration of living cells.

There is a sickness rampant in our country fed by greed and a lack of compassion and empathy. Heartbreaking and cruel since these kids brains likely don’t get the nutrients that they need to function at their best. I know when I’ve gone thru hard times and haven’t gotten enough food it causes a chemical imbalance that makes focus and other basic tasks seem so difficult. For a so-called Christian nation where is Christ and His values in the way the least of these is treated? 💔_______
#repost @shaunking with @repostsaveapp · · · Just think about this for a moment. They want to starve children in schools that don’t get certain test scores

Spread the word....I actually think we have less time than this. The IPPC report is a watered-down version of the truth

140-YEARS TO PLANET-WIDE EXTINCTION From Climate Change.
We’re Just 140-Years Away from the Climate That Caused a Planet-Wide Extinction 56 Million Years Ago.
THE LAST EXTINCTION LASTED 150,000-YEARS. So, even if some bit of humanity survives under domes or underground, what’s left of humanity will be miserable long before the worst of it and UP TO 150,000-YEARS THEREAFTER.
Current climate change projections estimate that if humanity doesn’t cut man-made CO2 emissions
90% by 2050,
THEN
THE ENTIRE WORLD
WILL BE STARVING
BY THE LATE
2080’S
because crops won’t be able to grow outside from nearly continuous extreme weather.
...
... “ Humans have pushed atmospheric carbon dioxide to heights unseen in our short (geologically speaking) existence. But give us another few generations, and our geologic impact on the planet will be clear.
New findings released on Wednesday show that at current emissions rates, we’re just five generations away from creating an atmosphere the likes of which hasn’t been seen in 56 million years. The last time carbon dioxide levels were as high as we’re headed for, it helped create one of the greatest die offs in recent Earth history.
